Consider using VNC and simply doing the work for him. I find I just do not have the time to coach them through a document and I just do all this stuff for my parents instead. Life’s too short to explain where the any key is.
I was annoyed when I got the popup, so I stopped using vanilla yt and started using invidious or freetube. Since then ubo updated a couple times. I used vanilla yt the past couple days for hours of educational vids, and got no antiadblock messages. It wasn’t until I saw this post that I realized that ubo autofixed itself. Ask your father to reinstall ubo on ff and see if it fixes it. Also, I don’t ever log on to yt, so maybe that plays a factor.

tldw?

Use Ublock Origin, not Ublock.
I meant ublock origin
Didn’t know there was a “vanilla” ublock
